“…Anthropometric measurement has been reported to correlate with PVD in normal population. 14 , 19 This study report shows the correlation between PVD and weight and BMI of patients with CLD and but not with height. On the other hand, our finding supports medium-strength correlation between weight and PVD among controls in studies conducted elsewhere.…”

“…The mean normal portal vein diameter was found to be 10.79±1.27mm which is in line with studies conducted elsewhere. 9,[13][14][15] In a contrary, a study conducted in North-Eastern India by Saha et al 2015, reported a lower mean normal PVD (8.83±2.12mm), which could be due to the inclusion of participants under 18 years. 16 Similarly, lower mean PVD (9.60±1.41mm) with relatively lower mean age (32.5±11.3 years) was reported in a study by Luntsi et al in Northern Nigeria.…”

Background: Measuring portal vein diameter (PVD) is a feasible method of detecting portal vein hypertension, which is a primary and fatal complication of chronic liver disease (CLD) and is usually diagnosed very late. However, there is a paucity of morphometric information on portal vein diameter in the Ethiopian population. Hence, it is important to determine the portal vein diameter among adults with and without chronic liver disease. Purpose: The study aimed to identify how PVD is affected by age, sex, and anthropometric measurements in patients with and without CLD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 220 participants (110 CLD patients and 110 controls) who have visited the radiology unit at selected Hospitals. Patients with CLD were selected consecutively as they present while controls were selected by a systematic sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Correlation and independent t-test were used to assess the relations. A statistically significant association was declared at P-value <0.05. Results: Mean portal vein diameter for CLD patients was 17.03±1.97 mm with a range of 12.8−20.8mm and 10.79±1.27mm with a range of 7.70-13.25mm for the control group. Age, weight, and body mass index had a positive correlation with portal vein diameter in both groups. The mean portal vein diameter increased by 21.34% during deep inspiration in the control group. Conclusion:The mean portal vein diameter among patients with CLD was higher than that of the control group. A significant gender-based difference was recorded in the portal vein diameter of the control group only. Ultrasonography is a non-invasive, readily available diagnostic tool for portal vein pathology. Recommendation: It is recommended for clinicians to take into consideration age, sex and anthropometric measurements while measuring PVD.

“…Несмотря на то, что в нашей работе статистически значимой корреляции диаметра и длины воротной вены с возрастом не выявлено, Ibinaiye P.O. et al [11] и Gemechu G. et al [9] в своих работах показали, что диаметр воротной вены варьирует не только в зависимости от пола, но и от возраста. Anakwue A.C. et al [7] было выдвинуто заключение о том, что диаметр вены варьирует в зависимости от возраста, но от пола никак не зависит.…”

The article discusses the variability of the linear dimensions of the portal vein depending on gender and age. In modern foreign and Russian literature, there is no uniform information about the variant portal vein anatomy. Data on the extreme forms and on the range of anatomical differences in the portal vein vary considerably. All this requires the need for a more detailed study of the morphometric characteristics of the portal vein branch. Computed tomography, in contrast to dissection on a corpse, allows an in vivo study of various morphometric characteristics of the portal vein.The aim of the study is to identify patterns of variability in the linear dimensions of the portal vein in persons of different sex and age.Material and methods. The study material consisted of multispiral computed tomography images of the abdominal cavity with contrast enhancement taken in 100 patients. The study included results of 56 men and 44 women, divided into 4 age groups: 1) first mature age, 2) second mature age, 3) the elderly, 4) the senile. The length of the portal vein was measured between the angle formed at the junction of the superior mesenteric and splenic veins and the angle formed by the branches of the portal vein at the hepatic hilum. The diameter of the vessel was measured at the midpoint of the distance between the proximal and distal points.Results. The length of the portal vein in the general sample was 66.45±8.49 mm, and its diameter was 11.84±1.93 mm. In women, the length of the portal vein was 64.37±6.6 mm, and its diameter was 11.33±1.83 mm, respectively. In men, both the length and diameter of the black vein were significantly greater than in women and constituted 68.09±9.4 mm and 12.24±1.91 mm, respectively. No statistically significant correlation of the studied parameters with age was detected.

“…It also provides information about the hemodynamic alterations in the hepatic portal system like pressure, direction, and velocity of flow, with a sensitivity of 85.7–89% and a specificity of 96–100% [ [18] , [19] , [20] ]. In the case of portal vein stenosis there is a high flow velocity, reduce diameter and area and in portal vein thrombosis, there is an absence flow, increase diameter, and area [ 21 ].…”

“…PHT (Portal hypertension) is defined as a pathologic increase of portal venous pressure that can be characterized by the hepatic vein pressure gradient greater than 5 mm Hg [ 22 ]. The physiological change such as dilatation of portal vein, decreased flow velocity and flow reversal are associated with PHT, therefore, the sensitivity of these parameters in the diagnosis of PHT is relatively high [ 21 ].…”
